While hardly as dramatic as last week’s revelation
that Syrian Al-Qaeda cannibals apologized after chopping off the head of one of
their CIA-funded “rebels” by mistake, the news that a US drone struck a US
missile cruiser during training off Southern California, causing two minor
injuries is maybe even more embarrassing. After all, with Al-Qaeda one can at
least make a legitimate case of a friendly fire, er, beheading incident. When it
comes to the coast off SoCal, it will be difficult to suggest the Chinese (or
Russian) navies were running sorties next to the surfers off Point Mugu.

From AP:

The Navy says an aerial target drone malfunctioned and struck a guided
missile cruiser during training off Southern California, causing two minor
injuries.
Lt. Lenaya (luh-NEY-yah) Rotklein of the U.S. Third Fleet said the accident
on the USS Chancellorsville happened Saturday afternoon while the ship was
testing its combat weapons system off Point Mugu.
She said two sailors were treated for minor burns after the ship was struck.
She said the ship was heading back to Naval Base San Diego so that officials can
assess the damage.

Syrian “hackers” to be blamed shortly (just like in the case of
healthcare.gov), as the time for Obama’s internet kill swtich “put option” is
long overue.
